I believe webmasters want to have their own logo and favicon for their own websites or blogs. Logo and favicon can make their websites or blogs look different and unique. Here are my tips how to create your own logo and favicon.
Creating Logo
You can use your MS-Excel to create your own logo. Just click Insert | Picture | Clip Arts and choose the suitable picture. Right click the picture and activate Show Picture Toolbar. You can modify the picture by this tool. Or you can make your own picture using AutoShapes | Lines | Curve. Then click Insert | Picture | WordArt to add some words to your modified picture. Then click Select Objects arrow, range those pictures, right click, choose Grouping and Group. Now you have a new single picture.
Then open your Paint program. Copy - paste your new picture into Paint. Resetting or adding colour to make up your picture. Then save as BMP file. The last step is open your BMP file using Adobe Photoshop CS. Resize it to get a smaller size, then save as JPG file. Now you have your own new logo.
Another way to have a logo is by scanning an interesting picture from your books or photos. Then resetting it as I mentioned above.
Creating Favicon
Now you are ready to make Favicons. Favicons are the little icons that show next to bookmarks and in the address bar of most browsers. Favicons are 16 pixels square. Upload a 16 x 16 pixel PNG and click 'Faviconify!' to create a favicon for your website. This favicon maker supports alpha transparency.
Once you create your favicon.ico file, upload it to the root directory of your website and put the code given to you in your html page in the header.

All the best,
MES
